Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

People who travel in the American Southwest or on the western side of any other continent near 30° latitude will see dramatic changes within distances of only a few miles. The vegetation of the Mediterranean coast of Europe looks remarkably similar to the chaparral of Southern California, though no two plant species occur in both places (except some introduced weeds). Both the diversity and the similarities have the same underlying causes, namely the interactions between geography and the global climate machine which governs the biosphere on both grand and microscopic scales.
